I love oven fresh bread but I don’t bake bread often. I mostly make homemade bread when I make pepperpot, once or twice a year. So when, one of my subscribers asked for a bread recipe and wanted a whole wheat version, I was super excited to get in the kitchen. I know, I know. I must be some kind of crazy person that gets excited about baking. But, I really do.
Combine 1 tbsp brown sugar, yeast and water in a small bowl. Mix until sugar dissolves. Let sit until yeast ferments (about 5 minutes). Combine milk and butter in a measuring cup. Microwave on high until butter melts. Set aside and let cool. When cool add fermented yeast. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining brown sugar and salt. Mix together. Then, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add milk and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Knead together to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and continue to knead for 5 to 10 minutes. Shape into a tight ball. Place in a grease bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and let sit until dough doubles in size (about 1 hour). After dough rises to double its size, separate into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a strip. Plait strips together. Place plaited dough into a greased loaf pan. Cover with a damp paper towel and let sit until doubles in size. Once dough doubles, brush with a bit of water and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. When bread is golden brown, remove from oven and brush top with butter. Remove from pan and let cool.
1. I live in dry Denver that is also 5280 feet above sea level, so bread baking is often a challenge. I brush the top of my bread with water to prevent it from getting crusty while baking. I also bake it low and slow. Most bread recipes will say bake at 375 or 400 degrees. Try this temperature first and if for some reason it doesn’t work you can increase the heat.Learn how to make the best homemade Whole Wheat Bread with just a few ingredients. This bread will sure to be a favorite in your home.
Best Homemade Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
Am I the only one wondering where the year went? It’s the beginning of December which means it’s time to start thinking about Christmas, if you haven’t started already. For most Guyanese households we have already started preparing months in advance by soaking fruits for our black cake. Some people set their garlic pork weeks ahead of Christmas and start gathering ingredients like dried sorrel and cassareep. Pepperpot is a traditional Guyanese Christmas breakfast and the homemade bread that goes with the Pepperpot is equally as important. Pepperpot is a meat stew made with cassareep, an Amerindian cassava syrup. What’s unique about this stew is that the cassareep preserves it so it can be left at room temperature for days without spoiling. The cassareep and wiri wiri pepper gives this stew a unique flavor.

Now onto the bread! I have a plait bread recipe and video already on the blog but wanted to share a whole wheat version for those who wanted a healthier version. Whole wheat bread can be challenging as it can be less tasty than its counterpart but I promise you this is the best whole wheat bread! The addition of honey adds a sweetness t to the earthiness of the whole wheat. I’ve been making whole wheat bread for several months and my family loves it. The kids eat it up!
I made this whole wheat bread in a loaf pan but you it can be made in the style of plait bread as well. You can even add the plait bread to a pan as well. The texture of this whole wheat bread is not too soft, not too firm and holds together well. It will not fall apart when dipped into the Pepperpot. The butter gives it a bit of richness without being overindulgent. Whether you chose to make the traditional plait bread or my homemade whole wheat bread this Christmas, you won’t be disappointed.
